Écuisses walks

This is the third section of the southern Burgundy crossing, which is part of the VIA Burgundia. From the confluence of the Yonne and Seine rivers in Montereau-Fault-Yonne, it crosses the whole of Burgundy to reach Macon. It is also the Eternal Burgundy trail, where history blends with heritage to reveal the region's beautiful natural surroundings.

A short walk through meadows and vineyards, taking in the village of Saint-Martin-du-Tartre and its beautiful views.

Continuing to discover the Saône-et-Loire region through this wine-growing village and its many small wash-houses. The trail ends at Mont Avril, with its panoramic view over the whole valley. I advise you to do this trail in autumn to get the most out of it.

A hill walk with no major challenges, in an unspoilt setting with villages overlooked by Mont Bouzu. Changing views all along the way, including a wide shot of Mont Saint-Vincent and a visit to the Château de Pontus-de-Thyard.

This hike is part of the Grande Traversée de la Bourgogne du Sud (Great Crossing of Southern Burgundy) route, which, together with the Grande Traversée de l'Yonne and the Grande Traversée du Morvan, make up the Via Burgundia. This long route, which runs from Montereau-Fault-Yonne to Macon, allows you to discover the Eternal Burgundy and stretches for almost 500 km. You can find out more on the website.

A peaceful crossing of the Plateau de Saint-Désert in the vicinity of Mont Avril and Mont Brogny. In the distance, the perched hamlet of Cruchaud stands guard to the South, before the route offers an escape to the Plaine de Saône.

An easy, pleasant walk near the Etang de la Sorme. Beautiful scenery and little change in altitude.A few stretches on tarmac, but not very busy.

For this hike, I had fun making this trail around the crosses and other statues in the Vallée des Vaux. Useful for discovering the beauty of the landscape.

This 10km loop hike starts from Saint-Clément-sur-Guye, with the Carapone at its highest point (440m), and takes in the villages of Saint-Clément-sur-Guye (Romanesque church listed as a historic monument in 1927, a tower to the east of the church), Rains, commune of Joncy (pretty stone houses), Le Petit Ballay, its square tower, its 'Murgers' (piles of stones removed from the vines), before Corcelles (hamlet of Saint-Clément).

A stroll along old stones, vineyards and footpaths. The journey is much like a pilgrimage in this part of the Saône-et-Loire region, with many religious ornaments.

Discover Mercurey's surroundings: the vineyards, of course, but also the different viewpoints over the village and the beautiful 12th-century churches.

An ascent of two mounts, Mont de Rome Château (514m) and Mont Rême (546m), giving you a good panoramic view of the Cossane valley, which joins the Dheune.

This walk starts in the medieval town of Saint-Gengoux-le-National, continues to Culle-les-Roches, a village below a cliff with a cave, and returns via a lost viaduct in the forest.

A family-friendly, educational route that takes you to superb panoramic views on both sides of the ridge.

Lovely walk along the water's edge and through the forest on easy paths.

Coming from Fontaine or Chagny, enter Rully, follow the signs to Agneux, go through the hamlet and up the narrow road to the pass; you're on the site of the caves, park at the pass exit near the lagoon. This is where the hike begins.

A beautiful walk above the village of Rully in Burgundy, through vineyards, oak and boxwoods.

This is a whole end-to-end 8-day dog-friendly 80 Km trip along the Route des Grands Crus (RDGC) from Santenay up to the edge of Dijon. On the way, you walk through great countryside, vineyards, and villages, covering the whole of the Côte d’Or which consists of two halves, the Côte de Beaune in the South end and the Côte de Nuits at the north end. We've divided the route into eight comfortable walks designed to provide a linear end-to-end route, each starting and finishing in accessible towns or villages. The wines and associated villages and vineyards are some of the most famous in the world with an unprecedented number of Grand Cru and Premier Cru marques, such as Chassagne-Montrachet in the south and Gevrey-Chambertin in the North (even the names of the villages sound enticing!). You will see that some of the vineyards are tiny - hence the exclusivity! - and indeed often divided up historically between many owners.

This is stage 1 Santenay to Meursault of the Route des Grands Crus. This walk runs from Santenay through villages of Chassagne Montrachet and St Aubin to the charming small town of Meursault; moderate difficulty with a bit of climbing, dog friendly via countryside and vineyards. End to end, a train service enables return to start.

Hiking at the end of the world, a Jura retreat in the heart of the Côte d'Or! Majestic limestone cliffs gradually carved out by the Cozanne river.Route through undergrowth and along cliff edges (no real danger as long as you stay on the path).

Lovely route starting from the Pierre de Couhard through a bucolic path leading to the Cascade de Brisecou. Lovely views over Autun and the historic quarter.

Starting from the lovely Vallon lake, discover magnificent views of Autun from the Gorges de Brisecou forest road.
